  • An excellent course. My tutor was excellent providing very prompt and encouraging feedback throughout. I feel my photographic ability has developed from both the course assignments and my tutors support. I would unreservedly recommend this course to anyone with an interest in photography. I am delighted to have completed the course but sad that it is now over. Brilliant.

Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA)

The Higher Level Teaching Assistant Diploma (HLTA) course study modules are linked to the professional standards for HLTA status which set out for teachers, employers and parents the contribution to pupils’ learning that HLTAs can be expected to make.

The standards cover three areas:

Professional attributes (standards 1-7)

These set out the attitudes, values and commitment expected of HLTAs.

Professional knowledge and understanding (standards 8-16)

These set out the knowledge and skills needed by HLTAs to be able to work effectively with teachers as part of the professional team supporting learning.

Professional skills (standards 17-33)

These set out the expectations for planning, monitoring, managing and evaluating learning within the framework of guidance and supervision agreed with the assigned teacher and in accordance with arrangements made by the headteacher of the school.
